🔦📚 Miss Gon's Kindergartners are shining a light on #Reading! As part of their "ABC Countdown" to the last day of school, students worked together to do some reading by flashlight today for letter "F" in their countdown, & they had a blast!
Did you know that many of our Kindergarten students score well above grade level for reading? Our Kindergarten class has shown higher growth & achievement this year than 92% of their peers at other schools. Contact us today at 716-689-8424 if you're interested in enrolling your child at SMS for Kindergarten this Fall - we still have limited seats available!

⚽️ SMS SOCCER UPDATES:
5/9/25: Our Varsity Bees lost 5-4 last Weds. to CCA but battled back from a 2 goal deficit to tie them before the final goal was scored. Andy Z. scored twice for our Varsity squad, Bruk T. had 2 assists and 1 goal, and Adam F. had 1 goal.
====================
5/8/25: Our JV Bees put up a valiant effort against the CTK Knights , but the clock ran out shortly before the Bees were able to finish their furious comeback. Parker P. played a stellar second half in goal. Goals were scored by Luca, Braden , Eli , and Jackson.
5/11/25: JV Soccer advanced to a winning record of 2-1. Parker P. showed grit & determination in goal, while Jackson, Eli & Gabe were goal scorers. And who can forget about the SMS defense? The fiercest, yet most polite defenders of the day were Michaela and Francesca. Great game team! Rumor has it another win Thursday could lead to ice cream at Uncle G’s after the game.
====================
5/8/25: The "Team Rivera" 3rd/4th grade Bees are now 2-1 on the year. Our Bees played well to come out with the win against Christian Central Academy, 3-1. Goals were scored by Jack H. & Julia C., with strong goalie play by Luke C. and Weston R. A great overall team effort on both sides of the ball led to the win!
====================
5/12/25: The "Team Terrill" 3rd/4th grade Bees played valiantly against Saint Christopher's. A goal from Elliott T. had the Bees taking an early 1-0 lead, however they fell behind before tallying two more goals in the latter part of the game from Elliott and Senay to come up short, 6-3.
